As Ebrahim Raisi is tipped to win presidential election, some Iranians have contrasting views on voting’s true effect.
Tehran, Iran – Fifty-seven-year-old Mehri took out her identity card and pointed to all the stamps on it. “Look at this,” she said. “I’ve voted for 40 years, there’s almost no space left.” The widowed stay-at-home mother-of-one lives in a small rented apartment in the south of Iran’s capital, Tehran. She relies on a weekly payment sent by her 30-year-old son, who lives with his wife and has a child on the way.More Related News
